   How it compares

   With 2,515 universities in the United States, Columbia College Chicago sits in a crowded higher-education market, so its value is in its arts focus rather than in sheer scale. Its 40-plus degree options and Chicago location make it more specific than a general university, which can be an advantage if you already know you want an art-oriented path.
